Overview

  • Lady Violet married Viscount Garnock at Belvoir Castle on June 20, attended by royalty and high society guests.
  • The Rutland Tiara, with diamond carnations and fuschias symbolizing love and dedication, has been in the Manners family since the 18th century.
  • The heirloom was rescued from destruction during the Blitz by Lady Ursula D’Abo and last appeared publicly in 1997 at Lady Theresa Manners’ wedding.
  • The bride’s Phillipa Lepley gown featured a mermaid silhouette and star-studded décolletage, following the designer’s work for the groom’s sister, Lady Charlotte Lindesay-Bethune.
  • Emma, Duchess of Rutland, had long anticipated a family occasion that would bring the heirloom back into the spotlight.
